	History of British socialism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Liberal Party was worried about the possibility of a socialist party taking the bulk of the working class vote, while their great rivals the Conservatives initiated occasional intrigues to encourage socialist candidates to stand against the Liberals.
		The early nationalist parties had little connection with socialism, but by the 1980s they had become increasingly identified with the left, and in the 1990s Plaid Cymru declared itself to be a socialist party.
		Many members of the party were unhappy with the proposed changes and several unions considered using their block vote to kill the motion, but in the end their leaderships backed down and settled for a new clause declaring the Labour Party a "Democratic Socialist Party".

	CHARTISM REVISITED
		Chartists developed an effective political culture which encompassed not only the mass meeting and the packed lecture hall but also more convivial social occasions which might involve the whole family.
		Chartists themselves regularly used the terms `physical-force' and `moral-force' to describe tactics: whether the Charter was better advanced through threats of violence and revolution or whether (as the radical tradition dating back to Tom Paine in the 1790s had usually stressed) by rational argument and peaceful protest.
		Chartist leaders knew that a failed rising was the worst outcome.

	09 Labour Party - 100 years of faithful service to imperialism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Formerly ‘a bourgeois labour party’, to use Engels’ remarkably profound expression, could be found only in one country because it alone enjoyed a monopoly, and enjoyed it for a long period.
		Precisely for this reason the founding conference rejected the call for naming the new party the ‘Socialist Labour Party’, instead calling it the Independent Labour Party, on the flimsy excuse that the party had to appeal to the mass of workers and not merely to socialists.
		Politically, during this period the LRC, and from 1906 the Labour Party, continued to act as the tail end of the Liberal Party by concluding secret electoral pacts with the latter, with not the slightest attempt at independence.

	Chapter Six, Welfare-Liberalism
		All political parties of the time were being penetrated by their economic programs which stressed humanitarianism and the welfare of the people and tried to combine individualism and collectivism through the establishment of voluntary co-operatives.
		The labor Chartists then tried the effect of a wide strike movement and as this method, too, failed, and as conditions grew immeasurably worse with the famine and depression of 1847, plans were laid for insurrection.
		Chartists were united against the heavy taxation of the poor and against the pressure of the national debt, and they were opposed to land monopoly and primogeniture, yet the two different groups of labor and small business could not agree on a positive economic program.

	Chartist - Welcome to my nightmare
		One ultra-moderniser, David Evans, the party organiser in the North West, suggests a system of "dynamic policy forums" in which closed party meetings, open to members only, would be a "rare exception rather than the rule".
		Leaders are able to use the machinery of the party, direct mailing, party publications and access to the non-party media, such as the tabloid press or television, to communicate with, and persuade, members to support their policy and organisational initiatives.
		This attempt to revolutionise the party has been widely described as an attempt to 'Americanise' the party: to turn it into a loose association, which has only a shadowy existence outside election time, and which is called into existence by its leaders in order to act as a campaign organisation.

		The country covered by Chartist agitation was divided into districts, in which the Chartists were classed in groups of 10, 100, and 1000 men with leaders and captains.
		All strands of Chartist and radical thought were represented at this conference, but by the end of the conference the frail unity collapsed into it's various components.
		A warning was given to the Labour Party that if the Post-Comm option was favoured the members of their union would not be able to distinguish between the actions of Post-Comm and the Labour Party.

		The Leeds Chartists failed to gain significant support at the hustings in the general election of 1841, and the strong middle class Radical tradition in the town gave many of the Chartists’ potential allies an alternative outlet for their views.
		Harrison notes that the Chartists had three particular interests: in opposing the “arrangements” and “jobbery” that made local politics the closed preserve of a town elite; in preventing any extension of police powers; and in keeping down expenditure – even where this conflicted with their other convictions.
		He was elected as a Chartist candidate to the council in 1844 for Holbeck ward and retained his seat in the 1847 election.

	Tories in Crisis - The Plots Thicken
		Conservative Party leader Iain Duncan Smith is "murally dyslexic," according to one of his own backbench MPs Anthony Steen, "he can't read the writing on the wall!" The "nasty party" as their own chairman Theresa May MP dubbed the Tories, stumbles from one crisis to the next.
		The Tory Party is the most successful bourgeois party in history, its longest period in the wilderness came between 1846 and 1866.
		The significance of 1832 is that it was the birth of the modern Conservative Party.

		In Belgium, Holland, and Italy the example of the Germans has been imitated; in every one of these countries a Working Men's party exists, [1] though the voter's qualification there is too high to give them a chance of sending members to the Legislature at present.
		In France the Working Men's party is just now in full process of organisation; it has obtained the majority in several Municipal Councils at the last elections, and will undoubtedly carry several seats at the general election for the Chamber next October.
		A third, universal suffrage, is at least approximately carried in the shape of household suffrage; a fourth, equal electoral districts, is distinctly in sight, a promised reform of the present Government.

		Like the Chartists the “immediate aim” of the communists was the “formation of the working class into a class” and the “conquest of political power by the proletariat” (K Marx and F Engels CW Vol 6, New York 1976, p498).
		Engels says every “real” proletarian party, from the British Chartists onwards, has put forward a class policy: the organisation of the workers into a political party and “the dictatorship of the proletariat as the immediate aim of the struggle” (H Draper The ‘dictatorship of the proletariat’ from Marx to Lenin New York 1987, p33).
		Writing in reference to this issue, he rhetorically asks a party comrade why we fight for the dictatorship of the proletariat if “political power is economically powerless”.

		Socialists in the Labour Party who oppose electoral reform are dooming themselves and the rest of the left to permanent political subordination.
		The Chartists struggled for the vote not to displace this extra-parliamentary struggle but to build on it in terms of legislation, lasting change and wider legitimacy.
		A rich variety of intellectuals and organisers are working on alternatives, collaborating with others across the globe, but in Westminster they lack the voice to put their own ideas without equivocation and distortion.

		In France, the first purely working-class insurrection, that of the "canuts", the weavers of the area of La Croix Rousse, was attempted in Lyons, the capital of the French silk industry, in 1831; the workers held the city for several days.
		The same was true for over two decades in Germany, where the first permanent independent workers party was only founded by Ferdinand Lassalle in 1863, around the demand for universal suffrage; this party fused with the "Marxist" party of Liebknecht and Bebel in 1875.
		While their role was that of a stimulator in the struggle for the generalisation of trade unions, they were an essential driving force in the fight to extend independent political organisation, even though the first successful initiative in this field in Germany was the work of Lassalle.

	A warning to Labour from 1979 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The most striking feature about the campaign for democracy in the Labour Party is that it is based on the belief that the socialist cause has been neglected by the Party because of the overweening power of the Parliamentary Party and the Party leader.
		The assumption is that the Parliamentary Party and leader are less steadfast in their socialist views than the Party rank and file, and that the rank and file's wishes are systematically ignored by them.
		Throughout the 1930s the Labour Party strained to get a Labour programme: it drew upon many ideas which had been discussed exhaustively in the press, in trade unions and indeed which were the bread and butter of friendly argument and dispute whenever workers came together in a thoughtful mood.

		The SDF was not a party that had a few sectarian aberrations but on the whole did a useful propaganda job, no, it was a barrier to the development of the working class in the eighties and nineties.
		But the danger arising from this becomes less according to the degree in which the party itself becomes stronger and gets more of a mass character, and it is already diminished by the necessity of exposing the weakness of the competing sects.
		Marx and Engels were convinced that the formation of their own class party was one of the processes the working class must go through on the road of socialist evolution.
